Effective modelling requires the integration of multiple frameworks. Here, particular attention is given to the previously neglected issues of tick developmental and behavioral diapause, tick-borne pathogen co-feeding transmission, and their interactions. An introduction to the required basics of structured population formulations and delay differential equations is given, and topics for future study are suggested. The described techniques will also be useful in the study of other vector-borne diseases. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ultimate aim of this project is to develop a general qualitative framework leading to tick-borne disease risk predictive tools and a decision support system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nThe target audience is mathematical biologists interested in modelling tick population dynamics and tick-borne disease transmission, and developing computational tools for disease prevention and control.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-10-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030540234\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-54024-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 160\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44807051149452,"sku":"9783030540234","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030540234.jpg?v=1775817733","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030540234","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
